”The hero/heroine of the story should have a purpose; The film and the audience are able to move along with it. If that is the equation behind a film’s commercial success, Malikappuram is a clear example of it.
When eight-year-old Kalyani’s goal is to reach Sabarimala and meet Ayyappan, it is only her will that gets her there, even though she believes that God in any form will help her. It’s not just Kalyani who hits the target here, but also director Shashi Shankar’s son Vishnu, whom I love and respect like an elder brother.
Heartfelt congratulations to Vishnu and Abhilash who guided him by the hand, Anto and Venu sir, Ranji, Shameer and everyone else for making the debut film brilliant and my favorite hero Unni Mukundan who is just a few steps away from superstardom.” says Padmakumar.
